No problem, but you should probably see the
FAQ. <http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q1.16>

You may have database problems. There's no guarantee even on the same
chip-type that the databases are going to be binary compatible. The best
way to handle this is to use the htdump/htload programs which write to an
ASCII file that is platform-independent.

That's one way. Personally I use ssh (or on Windows the PuTTY program).

There are plenty of ways that would be useful. One major way is by
contributing wordlists in Portuguese or localized result templates. See
for example <http://www.htdig.org/contrib/>.

Depending on your interests, it may help to have Portuguese-translated
documentation as well.

You also mention using CygWin and there have been problems with running
ht://Dig under CygWin. It would greatly help to have someone who can
regularly test the current development snapshots on CygWin and tell us if
something breaks. Contributed binaries for CygWin are also often
requested and would be greatly appreciated.

Beyond that, it depends on your interests in projects and there are plenty
of opportunities. Try sending a message to the
<htd...@li...> list with some questions.

You'll want to set the limit_urls_to attribute
appropriately. <http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#limit_urls_to>
